You're right, as are the posters above you, but again, the point of all of it is to allow her character to grow from naggy housewife to Mrs. Scarface. Even if those annoyances don't make her a terrible person worthy of being called a oval office, we're getting Walt's perspective of going from a star chemist to a milquetoast high school teacher who goes home to more being yelled at. In the beginning, it justifies his conscious heel-turn.

She annoyed me because she's meant to seem annoying.

I think you are correct. The whole point of the first part of the show is demonstrating that Walt is unsuccessful/unfulfilled with his life. She is definitely not meant to be portrayed as a perfect June Cleaver housewife. I think a lot of the ire that the character of Skylar receives also has to do with the "resting bitch face" that people claim Anna Gunn has.
